"A Sense of Despair": Many Iranians Fear a Prolonged War — and What Comes After
As the U.S. and Israeli war on Iran extends into a third week, President Trump is demanding other countries send warships to the Strait of Hormuz, which has been largely shut, as oil prices keep rising. This comes as the U.S. and Israel continue to launch major strikes on Iran, while Iran has retaliated by repeatedly striking Israel and U.S. allies in the Gulf, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain. Despite the violence in Iran, "pro-war voices are definitely in the diaspora and very strong, but they also exist inside Iran," says Naghmeh Sohrabi, professor of Middle East history at Brandeis University.

"I think most Iranians want this war to end as soon as possible, and at the same time, they fear nothing more than the day after the war, if this regime remains intact," says Iranian American novelist Amir Ahmadi Arian.

"The Gulf Fears Whoever Wins This War": U.S.-Israeli War on Iran Could Destabilize Entire Region
We speak with Kareem Shaheen, Middle East editor at New Lines Magazine, about the regional response to the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. He says the Gulf countries are in a no-win situation, stuck between a belligerent Israel that has no qualms about using violence to achieve its strategic aims and a desperate Iran lashing out against U.S. allies in the region as it tries to survive. He says that no matter which side prevails, Gulf states have realized how vulnerable they are despite U.S. security guarantees. "In either scenario, I don't think that the Gulf states will be happy with the outcome," he says.

Shaheen's recent article is "The Gulf Fears Whoever Wins This War."
